I'm not kidding. It's one of the easiest A's, worth tons of credit. Nobody takes it for reasons you can figure out; my academic engineering adviser knew of it and said "before you judge, let me read and explain the course description," and everything fit extremely well. I'll have a masters in less than four years.


You're taking an athlete's course?

I'll let you know on the first day. It definitely seems like one, but SMU's football team is terrible, and they've taken great care to be really careful about giving athletes any special treatment after they got the death penalty in 1987.

Death penalty? You mean that literally or figuratively? Cause I don't see how literally would affect that.

It's a sports term, which means their program was shut down for two years, ruining it. They can't afford to be promiscuous because everyone is always watching.

Ah.


But yeah; it's also an honors course, so I think it's just something easy and kind of fun that slipped under the radar for rigorous classes. Either way, I won't complain.

Try not to take more than one of those athlete's courses though. It sort of undermines the whole point of higher education.

You misunderstand. There are certain requirements that can only be filled by inapplicable classes; these simply leave me with more time to take relevant ones. For example, this prevented me from losing a potential 2 hours I could have taken because I swapped it with another class that I'll take in the spring instead, and it also saved the money of me "overloading" and accepting the fee of going over the hours/semester limit. Consider it more of a required course than the reason I went to college in the first place; I'm taking psychology for a similar reason, except that actually is applicable and practical.

Hence why I said "try" and not "be sure." There are practical reasons to taking them, but since you're not actually learning anything it undermines the point of further education.

That's on the educational facility. Reorganization to equip the student to be prepared for the world, as is their job.

That's relatively intact, but it still gets too hot because my GPU is active while developing in Unity.

Uhm. No, there aren't really any holes in it. Unless you mean "when applying actual real world science to it."
